Most of your problems are due to the fact that you grabbed an old
distribution.  The correct pmax files for your installation are in
/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3_ALPHA/pmax.  There is also some updated
documentation there.  You may want to wait a few days though, because
we're in the middle of putting together a release and some of the
documentation is wrong or out of date.  This is being corrected as we
speak.

Watch this space for details...
